• When You’re So Tired You Go Against Your Values
    Sep 8 2025

    Every mom knows the moment, you’re so tired, so worn down, that you do something you swore you wouldn’t. Maybe you put your child in preschool when you planned to keep them home. Maybe you hand over the tablet just to get a break. In that moment, it feels like survival. Afterward? The guilt hits hard.

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • Why exhaustion pushes moms to go against their values
    • The difference between survival mode and truly “giving up”
    • How guilt makes the problem worse, not better
    • Ways to build in breaks before you crack
    • How to get back in line with your values without the shame spiral

    If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t believe I did that…”—this one’s for you.
